Set in object
Put a value into JSON text.
object.set
In a flow
“Works out set in object whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
{} coins = 5 → {"coins": 5}
What it does
Put a value into JSON text. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: put a value into JSON text.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
Typical wiring
Sockets: settings you can wire
- Object Text
-
The JSON text to change, like {"coins": 5}. Empty starts a new one.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, it uses {}.
